Wild Blue Iris
Wild blue iris (Iris versicolor) is a sword-leaved plant resembling garden iris, characterized by striking, down-curved violet sepals with bold veins. It features several violet-blue flowers on a sturdy stalk among tall, sword-like leaves from a basal cluster. Flowers vary in purple shade but always showcase yellow on the falls. Growing 2-3 ft. tall, this native iris thrives in northeastern wetlands. Insects drawn to the sepals must navigate under the style tip to pollinate.
